That's great David. I'm jealous as I plod along a day at a time. My 60 year old brain is processing a bit slower. :wink2:
 
Everything is going great - David learns very quickly.

We flew twice yesterday, twice today, we're flying three times tomorrow. Three times on Thursday. Three times on Friday. We'll do some cross country work and fly most of Saturday and Sunday. Then repeat next week.

Holy brain melt. That's one helluva schedule. How do you allow for saturation?

Hopefully you'll get some good actual.

I wouldn't try this with private - instrument training seems to be pretty successful via this method.

We're doing a morning flight and then he has all day to soak that in and study while I work. We then later do two evenings flights.

Dear David,

You suck.

Love, Nate.

Well I'm always open for business. Although I'll need a bit of a break after David - else Dani might kill me - since I really don't have a free second right now.

I'm keeping you and Ron in mind. My written will expire again if I don't force the issue of the Instrument this year.

Right now, work is heading into busy season so I probably can't make an impassioned plea to the boss yet about needing to disappear for a week to chase my "life goals". :)

I may want to come see you in the spring to do the CFI-IA. I'd rather knock it out in a few days to a week.
 
We flew another 4.3 hours today over the course of 3 lessons. VOR approaches, LOC approaches, ILS approaches both full and vectors to final and all of the above partial panel.

David learns very quickly and flies instruments like he's been doing it all his life.

All of that combined with a pretty productive day in the office means I'm ready for bed. Night.
 
Jesse, I could send this in a PM but figured others might look it up in a thread later. Do you have access to good rental aircraft to teach in and how are the rental rates?

Had a friend ask about finding a CFII for his son last night and I thought I'd ask. I'll send him your contact info if that's ok. (Told him about PoA too, etc etc etc.)
 
We started with RNAV approaches this morning - but the attitude indicator has decided to start acting up. David has wisely decided to get that issue resolved so we're on the search for an attitude indicator and an installation.

For private I have access to several different C150s that are about $80ish per hour.

For instrument I have access to a PA-28-180 with a Garmin 430. It's a great IFR trainer and runs $105/hr wet.

Information available here:

http://www.angellaviation.com/n8838j-cherokee-180/ I do have access to other aircraft as well.

It's pouting because you had it covered up all day yesterday.

Thank you for asking this. I was going to ask the same thing.
 
I passed the instrument written with a 78, but I guess a pass is a pass. I still dont think thats too shabby for studying for less than a week :dunno:

Attitude indicator is fixed, I took it for a a few laps around the pattern. It seems to work well.

Anything over a 70 and you're just showing off. :yesnod:
 
PS - Let me congratulate you on the test. Now you have two years to get your instrument rating!

I know. I was just saying that in case you guys for some reason do not finish or take the checkride there. I realize he is there on a mission!

That there is just silly talk. In fact, the very fact that you even suggested that just caused me to call a DPE and schedule his checkride.

Really? When is it? Oh and congratulations ahead of time since we all know he will pass. And yes, I am jealous, I just got grounded on Tuesday due to a marine layer.

The date will remain a secret.

Even to the student? :confused:

No. But I feel no need to let the internet community as a whole know when a checkride is going to happen. It leads to unnecessary pressures.
